Splish Spalsh

The coolness in the air as we left Omaha did not give us much hope for fun in the sun at King's Pointe. Who would have ever thought you would pulling on long-sleeve shirts the last week of July? But as the lazy vacation days went by warmth filled the air and we headed to the water park for two afternoons of splashing.

We climbed these steps twice with VW to experience the orange tube ride (on the right) only to turn back around. DG, however, giggled, cheered, and demanded "more-more" in both sign language and words as soon as we shot out the bottom. VW did thoroughly enjoy the green slide indoors, which he climbed each step excitedly and splashed at the bottom by himself countless times.

We did the lazy river a few times with Nana and Papa, even as the boys lips turned purple due to the heater being broken and the water so frigid. Still fun to float lazily along.

The boys also enjoyed running through the shooting water and playing as only boys play.

 

We did take a break or two to warm up and have a snack

and then right back at it!

 

 

DG did the little orange curve slide outside by himself over and over. It was cute to watch him observe the other kids and take turns. VW conquered crossing the lily pads (with help), but thought this a fun way to 'walk on water.'



 

 

 

At the end of the day we headed out tired

from the sun, splashing around, and proud

of all we tried and the thrill of new experiences.

DG decided he would leave with us,

but he was not going to hold hands.
